A dental implant is a titanium post placed into your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom crown to complete the restoration.

Implant-supported bridges

Implant-retained dentures

A more secure, stable fit than removable dentures alone.

Bone preservation

Stimulates the jawbone the way a natural root does.

IS THIS YOU?

If you've been told before that you weren't a candidate, it's worth asking again, options have expanded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are good candidates. Dr. Afifi will evaluate your specific situation.

The full process, from placement to final crown, typically takes several months to allow proper healing.

Placement is done under anesthesia, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal. Mild soreness during recovery is normal.

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, though the crown may eventually need replacement after many years.

Dr. Afifi may recommend a bone grafting procedure to build up the area before implant placement.
